  • Georgian Bay Roots #299 June 26, 2022 (with Tom)
    Echoing Jon's show structure from the week before, we kick things off for NIPD and History Month by starting with the ABCs and Bryden Gwiss Kiwenzie, paying a visit to Thunder Bay with Ansley Simpson, hearing from the late, great Cheghano and listening to O Canada à la Willie Dunn.
    Moving right along into marking Pride by correcting my pronouns when it comes to Evangeline Gentle (they/them), checking in with one of Grey County's newest émigrés, Beverley Glenn Copeland (!!!), before blissing out with Joyful Joyful and the dance floor grooves of DJ Strobe.
    The summer vibes are alive with cuts from Georgia Fox, The Wailers (I'd appreciate your help with some local research on this one), Louie Rankin, Tobi and Fuzzy Love.

  • Georgian Bay Roots #295 (with Tom) May 29, 2022
    This week Tom briefly revisits his theme of local high school dances of yesteryear that featured live bands, give you a preview of some very worldly artists in the lineup for Summerfolk this year and play some tracks to convince you to come out to Electric Eclectics’ event at Black Bellows on June 18.
    In the first camp, tracks from Perth County Conspiracy, Liverpool, Peter Schilling (a German star who scored a hit with english lyrics by Wiarton's David Lodge) and the Forgotten Rebels.
    To bridge the themes, a 2004 track by Beverley Glenn Copeland, who played OSCVI and the first two Summerfolks.
    Coming to Summerfolk this year: Cuban powerhouse Okan with a track featuring Rauzzy Ferrer, the world fusion of Moskitto Bar, Anishnabek artist Aysanabee and the amazing Estonian duo Puuluup.
    Hear a real stunner from South Africa's Abdullah Ibrahim aka Dollar Brand in honour of the Durham Sauntering Band's performance of the track in Owen Sound's Earth Day Parade.
    Finally, we wrap up with tracks from Debby Friday, Zones and Lee Paradise, who will be on the bill (with a few others) for Electric Eclectic's June 18 shindig.

About Georgian Bay Roots

From the publisher's feed

For 8 years we were a weekly radio show based in Owen Sound, Ontario and presented by the Georgian Bay Folk Society. We shared music made in and played in Grey and Bruce counties with folk and roots music from across Canada and around the world thrown into the mix.
